Application filed .Tune 3, 1926. Serial No. 113,512.

Thepresent invention is concerned with the provision of a toilet kit in which a shaving apparatus and other accessories of the toilet may be compactlypackaged forpurposesof transportation. f f- An object of the invention is to providea device-of this character .in whichl the various toilet articles willv be -securely retained in place within a small compact case whichy may -either be. carried -in the pocket orY tossed vcarelessly in a travelingbag without danger `of injuring the toilet articles. or displacing them -from their position within the case. A y l .A v

' More specically, an object ofthe invention `is to provideV a toilet kit inwhich conventional types of high grade toilet articles `may be compactly assembled as opposed to lthe various forms of patented kits which make use of-,unconventional types of razors and' other accessories. lIn otherv words, I aim to lprovide a ycasing fory conveniently packing standard high-grade toiletarticles, `instead of providing inferior unconventional toilet accessories to fit within a pecu-y liarly shaped container.

Further objects of the invention are to` provide a vdevice of the character :above note.d,.xof simple, practical construction, .v v which will be' rugged, Vdurableand eicient sories in position, and` taken lonwthe line f .2-k2of-Fig.3-.v l l Figg is a vertical sectional view vonthe line 3 3 of Fig. 2.

InFigs.- 7' to; 9- I have showna modified lformiof. kit-in which the casing is somewhat more capaeious and may carry a comb and a powder containerfiny addition to'the other f toilet accessories-abovedescribed.

The construction of this form of container of. Figures 1` is veryV similar ,to thecasing to 6, and similar reference characters have been usedl wherever possible. Thewalls 10F are fla-t instead ofy curved.l The partition 15 extends they full length ofthe casing.

The compartment" for the-'razor `heady longer,v so that it may also receive the razor handle and is vvertically divided 'by anunif,

ber'of longitudinally extending partitions 40 which Vvsubdivide it into spaces vfor the head; handle and extra: blades. Otherwisey the same; y c

' that they are: placed in the container vin a moist condition,-it is preferable toprovide vent openings 41 arranged above the tooth.l brushl .f and shaving. p. brush compartments which will'v permit circulation 'of .air through the container to dry the brushes.

Various changes and alterations might be made in'` the'rgeneral. form and varrangement of parts described without departing from the invention.
